Bottled (from Cracked Kettle). Honeyish golden colour, mediumsized creamy/foamy white head. Aroma is caramel malts, bread and some quite earthy notes along with mild grassy hops. Flavour is raisins, some alcohol, fruits and mild grassy notes in the finish. Rather different aroma and flavour in this one. Alcohol shows a bit in the flavour as a sweet stingy not, which is not that disturbing, but still is there.

(bottle, with many thanks to pivnizub) Clear golden colour with a mid-sized white foam. Slightly dusty and sweet malty aroma with dense notes of herbal hops and alcohol. Moderate sweet flavour, medium body, smooth carbonation. Malty taste with notes of DMS and a light hoppy background; rather dry, bitter and slighty hoppy finish. Okay but not much more.

Swing-top bottle (bought at the brewery): Golden coloured, small head, quickly diminishing; faint sweet-malty nose, toasted bread, too combined with a mixture of alcohol and bitterness; bitter-sweet flavour, medium bodied, low carbonation; only a bit of sweetness in the mainly bitter, dry malty finish. A pleasant dry franconian Bock
